Ms foot to hls accustomed marching
hero fallen in the strife
Lay on the couch of death
Unconscious, as the tide of life
Was ebbing with each breath.
No molten rain, no armed tread,
Might ever rouse him more,
Nor banner 10 the brerzes spread
Inspire him as Of yore.
Yet still though every sense was scaled.
HIS patriot love was known;
The passion, strong ~ death revealed
without glance or tone.
In thought again hr fell ia line
To conflict onward led
For yet his foot the only sign
Kept time to martial tread
Though fainter grew the labor,.l breath
stu came that measured sound
until he passed, through gates Of death,
To heavenly marching ground.
For saw he not celestial plains
That cunqueriug spirits win,
And caught ancar cxultant strains
Above earth 5 shock aud DIM
Safr tented on that glorious nrld
His weary marches cease,
For rest unhinds the warriors shield
He knows unbrokcu peace.
When all the marshaled host shall move
In last and grand review.
The Mighty Leader shall approve.
And crown him loyal true NAV.

Would Make them Dizzy.

The Bob Lincoln boom is rapidly
spreading among the Republicans of the
south. The colored people are especially
enthusiastic, and say if the Republicans
will nominate the son of their emancipation
for President, they will smash the solid south
to pieces in spite of all creation. There is
no doubt that the nomination of Lincoln
would make the bourbons in several south
ern states feel dizzy as long as the cam
paign lasted There would he more excite
ment in the south over Bob Lincoln than
there has been over any man put up for
Office since the war.

The susceptible Gen Sherman, who was
in Washington for few days just before
the President and his party left for the AID
irondacks, is represented as having fallen III
love at first sight with that well-manncred
and gifted young lady, Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land" He met her for the first time i'll
Washington the other day at cabinet din
ner, and sat by her side. 'She is very re
markable girl" he said in describing the
teryiew. Perfectly quiet and self-possess-
ed, and absolutely without atfectation, &C
ceptng the dignity of her position with an
almost queenly graciousness. thought her
very like the Princess Of Wales, and told
her so, and she was very much pleased. y
The correspondent who imparts this inter
esting piece of information adds that Mrs.
Cleveland "has not shown the slightest
preference in her friendships to her hus
bands political supporters and some of her
most ardent admirers are the wives of men
who are themselves prominently before the
public as candidates for the presidency
Mrs John Sherman is one of her staunchest

In his admirable address before the church
temperance society in New York the other
evening, the Rev DR., w. r. Huntington
prescribed the three Ts-Toil, Thrift and
Temperance the best antidote for pov
erty. The phrase was so happy that it was
caught up at once, and now it is said that Il
society is to be organized in New York
which will aim to spread the idea. 1t is in
teresting to note in this connection the fact
of similar significance, that bright anc
apt remark in the editorial columns of the
Philadelphia Record that every man mus
be his own prohibtionist, has been caught
up and quoted until a temperance society
has been formed in one southwestern tow
with this saying as its motto.

One per cent of this amount shows the
towns grand list for this year 10 be S42,-
3O9.G9, which is gain of S3,l7i.04 over
last year, when the list was S;IS, S32, 50.
Last years real estate valuation was s., 06O. 20
i35 ; this years gain, it will be seen, is
SlGO, 200 over that amount-a gain which is
due in large part TO the new buildings which
have been erected during the past year.
The gain in the list as a whole indicates a
prevailing state of thrift and prosperity in
the community gain in the savings of
workingmen and healthful gain in the
business of the town in all legitimate drec-
tions. This is encouraging, and it is no
less so to know that there is every indica-
ton that the current year will show an in
crease equally large

The new Scotch cutter, Thistle, easily
sailed away from her competitors last Sat
urday in the Channel match from Southcnd
to Harwich, an event which has for some
years been regarded as the opening of the
Yachting season in England The compel
ing boats included the swiftest yachts in
English waters-the Genesta, the Sleuth-
hound and the Irex. The breeze was light,
so that no test of the weatherly qualities of
the new yacht could be made. She is mod
eled substantially ON the lines of the Puri-
tan and the Mayflower, with deeper keel
and wider spread of sail, very little free
board. and no bulwarks to speak Of. The
Thistle is. in short, fair-weather race,
and with light winds will be likely to cut
out all the work her American antagonists
can do. In a race ON Monday in fresh wind
the Thistle was beaten by three yachts, the
Ircx, Genesta and Wendur, and III still an
other, on Tuesday she was beaten by the
lrex. In the latter race the Thistle crossed
the line first at the finish, hut the prize was
given to the Trek under the rule of time al
lowance In good sailing breeze on
Wednesday the Thistle beat the lrex am
Genesta with ease.

ton of Charity.
81 war axed las nisht how dis club
stood on the queshun of charity" said
Brother Gardner as the meeting opened in
due form and the thermometer marked
1902 in Elder Toots' corner. Ode club
stands jist whar it has allus stood. Muffin
has occurred to change our minds.
when poo man meets wild accident
or sickness dis club has sunthin to help
him along.
when dc wife of a poo man am left a
helpless wilder dis club am bound 10 help
her
"When man who has lost limb ap-
peals to me for bread shan't refuse him
not onlsss his breaf smells of liquor.
"Our charity goes dat fur an no furder.
We have no use fur de tramp. Every
piece Of bread handed out to him az sim
ply premium on laziness. He tramr,s be-
kase he doan' want to work. He ar hui
man sponge. Instead of loollin' fur work
he ar lookin' TO escape work.
"Ebery nickel handed out to beggar,
large or small, is IN encouragement to
avoid honest work. Eoery penny encour-
ages vice an Incidence.
we new gone 10 an expense OIL tens OF
thousands of dollars fur county house.
but yet we mus raise tens of thousands OF
dollars cherry var for poo fund to take
keer OF de people who am too heightened
to go out dar', but low-toned huff to walk
boldly into de Poo Masters office. Eberv
dollar we raise is a premium on Incidence,
poverty and vice. SO long as charity will
pull two or three hundred families through
six months of de var de husbands ar not
gwine to break dar backs lookin' fur work,
an de wives ar not gwine to worry about

" If de heather am not all right, it's not
our fault. De Lawd made man an pro-
nounced him perfeck. He made de

TRUE HEROISM.

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields.
Where honor greets the man who wins
And death the man who Yields:
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on, through weary wears.
Against himself, and wins.
He is hero, stanch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low,
And stands erect in manhood's might,
Undaunted. undismayed.
The bravest man who drew a sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle TO o'ercome
An enemy who Inarcheth not
With banner, plume or drum
4 toe forever lurking nigh
With silent, stealthy tread
Forever near your board by day,
AT night beside your bed.
All honor, then, to that brave heart.
Though poor or rich he be.
Who struggles with his baser part,
Who couquers and is free,
He may EOt wear hero's crown,
Or fill hero's grave,
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave.
